    Local farmer finds SpaceX debris on his land.

    I'm surprised it's not from China. All their large rockets have an uncontrolled reentry since they really don't give a **** where it lands. Even short First stages have fallen back on their own cities.

    B-2A Spirit suffered in flight emergency (fire), emergency (crash) landing this evening

    Just an update, this aircraft was damaged too much to justify the cost to be repaired, bringing the total number of B-2's from 21 down to 19 The only other B2 loss Spirit of Kansas crashed during takeoff in Guam back in 2008, due to condensation in the computer that operated the fly by wire...

    These are some my sister took out in the Black Forrest, north of COS, Colorado (The ones with conifer trees) The last 2 that were taken by her friend just west of Wichita outside Goddard. (They don't have as many trees) and you can see aircraft in them. I couldn't see them from my property...

    What are y'all paying for a haircut these days?

    Been using a 30 year old Wahl my mom bought back in the 90s you plug directly in the wall until I splurged and got a cordless in the end of 2020 so I could safely trim everything in the shower and not have to clean the counter and floor off of all my hair. The Wahl is still used when the...

    What kind of husband/boyfriend are you?

    If it was enough to get me pissed, I'd just pull out my phone and start taking video and or pictures of him, and if that wasn't enough then start cat-calling, and pray to god my bluff works and he's not into guys too... LOL Then there is the nuclear option of uploading the video and letting the...

    A 737-8 NG slick (minus the gear) is going to be coming in at up to ~60-70+ knots faster than flaps 40 (48*). So ~180mph+ especially at Denver's altitude, vs ~120mph. At least they had enough runway to work with to get her stopped.

    The cowling was loose, they had full spoilers on as the flaps are definitely not "down 40" in landing configuration. IIRC the pilots were hesitant to use the flaps as one took a hit on takeoff as the initial piece of cowling ripped off and they didn't want to try and extend the flaps or slats...

    NJ/PA/NY Earthquake

    looks like the USGS has it at 4.8 though some sites are showing a 4.8 (left) and a 4.7 (right) near each other that went off at about the same time. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000ma74/executive Still remember back in 2011 when Prague, Oklahoma had a 5.8 and it was the...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    Aparently the Dali is displacing roughly the same amount of weight as a Nimitz class Carrier >80,000 tons. If a carrier hit a bridge what would you expect to happen to the bridge. Helps put it into perspective how massive that ship is. No way they could stop with power, and probably coulden't...

    Car Show Etiquette

    I've found that if you add a big Borg Warner to a coyote's exhaust it really helps with rasp. The Bassani catback I've had since the day my car was delivered sounded great while I was NA, no drone, minimal rasp, good sound when you bring the revs over 3-4k but quiet enough to go through a drive...

    I didn't say I'd be out there the first day, I figure give it a season or two and see what happens. That should be long enough to work the kinks out, or let natural selection get a good head start.

    I think allowing you to hunt Asian carp that way would be great summer practice for bird season, especially the flush. And it'd let you hunt and spend time on the lake at the same time. So long as wildlife and parks just doesn't put a limit on the gauge or plugs on the shotguns, aside having to...

    No Speeding

    You want traffic jams, and more pollution? This is a great way to do it. If they do they need to put it on the cop cars and the politicians' vehicles too... if it's speeding that's the problem it has to be everyone, one vehicle at another speed would break the purpose. But this would...

    Down there the strikes are so random. like the road surface itself 50ft ahead of you even though there are lampposts down both sides of the causway that should have been the most likely targets. It's like you guys on the Gulf side get so many strikes that it gets bored hitting just the tallest...

    Tornadoes... I can remember back in the day charging the camcorder in the am there was a medium or high risk (only 3 levels back then, not 5) and no matter how hard you tried to get close they always run away, unless its nighttime then they came knocking. Lightning, you can take steps to...
